Week One looks like an offensive explosion in the making

[erod]

The 49ers just lost defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey for the season with a torn bicep. Aldon Smith is about to get suspended. Navarro Bowman is rehabbing from blowing out his knee in the NFC championship game.

Combine that with the absences of Lawrence and Spencer in Week 1.....

These offenses might score a combined 100 points that afternoon.

Good news SF doesn't have a burner. Playing underneath tight zones and keeping Kaepernick contained will be the key. They also are limited at RB with Hunter and James hurt.

Don't get your hopes up. I learned this the past few seasons. I am expecting a blowout loss.

The 49ers are very strong on both sides of the ball.

While the Cowboys have a great offense, the Cowboys are undoubtably going to be a one-sided team.

You have to hope the Cowboys get up early.

Don't get your hopes up; I'm expecting a close game with the cowboys winning.

Pretty much true. Whenever you think it has to go one way, it's the other that shows up.

The 49ers offense sucks just as much as our defense. Here are the teams they scored more than 30 points against last year: GB, STL, HOU, TEN, JAX, TB, ATL, ARZ. One decent defense amongst them.

They totaled 39 points in 3 games against Seattle, 32 in 2 games against Carolina, and were held to single digits in 1 game by each of those teams. They managed only 7 points against the Colts.

There is no reason - other than buying into hype machines - to think that the 9ers are going to roll over the Cowboys...especially without the guys that they are going to be missing. The 9ers have just been the beneficiary of a terrible NFC and make sure not to beat themselves against inferior teams. That's the only thing that has set them apart from teams like Dallas, Philly, ATL, GB, Car, etc. in the past couple of years. They've got no explosive playmakers and a defense that has lost a step.

I'm not going to make a win prediction, but I would be far more surprised to see SF win in a blowout than the cowboys.

Can't wait for week 1. Expecting a very good game.


However....
With SF's Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde at RB, I bet every team in the league would like to be "limited" like that.

Also, at least 5 of of those defenses mention were ranked in the 5-17 range in total defense (though that isn't everything). I dream of us finishing that high.

As mediocre as the Cowboys have been, they are rarely blown out.

Trouble is that we fall within these ranks. If we win, it will be because this defense is better than anyone thinks it will be OR because the offense just has an absolutely outstanding game.

Especially at home.

I'm still on record for a W week 1.

Yeah, not exactly... Sure, it happens.. But definitely doesn't happen more often than not
